At Corbett Step, we don't just handle your safari permits; we assist you with the comprehensive journey. Here is the best way to reach us from East of Kailash.
🚗 Option 1: Driving from East of Kailash (The Freedom of the Road)
If you are a fan of highway travel, the journey to Corbett is vibrant.
- The Route: If you are driving from East of Kailash, your GPS destination should be Ramnagar, Uttarakhand. Most travelers from the North follow the Hapur-Moradabad-Kashipur bypass.

- Pit Stops: There are plenty of food parks en route, famous for their treats.
💡 Corbett Step Tip for East of Kailash Drivers:
Download the offline maps for the Ramnagar area before you leave East of Kailash, as the mobile network can be weak once you enter the dense Sal forest canopy.
